SAFETY GUIDELINES
DO NOT TOUCH the xture housing during operation. Turn OFF the power and allow approximately 15
minutes for the xture to cool down before servicing.
DO NOT shake xture; avoid brute force when installing and/or operating xture.
DO NOT operate xture if the power cord has become frayed, crimped, damaged and/or if any of the
power cord connectors are damaged and do not insert into the xture securely with ease.
NEVER force a power cord connector into the xture. If the power cord or any of its connectors are
damaged, replace it immediately with a new one of similar power rating.
DO NOT block any air ventilation slots; these must remain clean and never blocked. Allow approx. 7.9”
(20cm) between xture and other devices or a wall for proper cooling.
When installing xture in a suspended environment, always use mounting hardware that is no less than
M10 x 25 mm, and always attach an appropriately rated safety cable.
ALWAYS disconnect xture from main power source before performing any type of service and/or
cleaning procedure. Only handle the power cord by the plug end; never pull out the plug by tugging the
wire portion of the cord.
During the initial operation of this xture, a light smoke or smell may emit from the interior of the xture.
This is a normal process and is caused by excess paint in the interior of the casing burning off from the
heat associated with the lamp and will decrease gradually over time.

INSTALLATION
When installing the unit, the trussing or area of installation must be able to hold 10 times the weight
without any deformation. When installing, the unit must be secured with a secondary safety attachment,
e.g. and appropriate safety cable. Never stand directly below the unit when mounting, removing, or
servicing the unit.
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including calculating working load limits, installation
material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and unit. If you lack these
qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself. Installations should be checked by a skilled
person once a year.
The Frost FX Bar W is fully operational in three different mounting positions, hanging upside-down
from a ceiling or trussing, sideways on trussing, or set on a at level surface. Be sure this xture is kept
at least 12m (40ft) away from any ammable materials (decoration etc.). Always use and install the
supplied safety cable as a safety measure to prevent accidental damage and/or injury in the event the
clamp fails. Never use the carrying handles for secondary attachment.

SETUP
DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used as a form of communication
between intelligent xtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from the
controller to the xture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from xture to xture via the DATA
“IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX xtures (most controllers only have a DATA
“OUT” terminal).
DMX Linking: DMX512 is a standard digital network control protocol allowing all makes and models
of luminairs and xtures from different manufactures to be linked and operated from a single controller,
provided that the controller and all xtures are DMX512 compliant. To ensure proper DMX data
transmission when using several DMX xtures, try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order
in which xtures are connected in a DMX line does not inuence the DMX addressing. For example; a
xture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the
end, or anywhere in the middle. When a xture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller
knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
DMX Data Cable Requirements: The Fixture can be
controlled via DMX512 protocol. Your unit and your DMX
controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for
data input and data output; we recommend Accu-Cable
DMX cables. If you are making your own cables, be
sure to use standard 110-120 Ohm shielded cable (This
cable can usually be purchased at most professional
lighting stores). Ensure that your cables are comprised
of one male and one female XLR connector, and
remember that the DMX cable must be daisy chained,
and cannot be split.
Notice: Be sure to follow gures two and three when making your own cables. Do not use the ground
lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the
shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a
short circuit and erratic behavior.
12
Page 13
SETUP
Special Note: Line Termination. When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator
on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is
connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This unit is inserted
in the female XLR connector of the last unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable
terminator (ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior.
5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors: Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX- 512 data cables for DATA
transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX xtures may be integrated into a 3-pin DMX line with a
5-pin to 3-pin adapter cable. Although these adapters are available at most electric stores, one can be
assembled using the conversion chart.

DMX ADDRESSING
All xtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct xture
responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which
the xture starts to “listen” to the digital control signal sent out from the DMX controller. The assignment
of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital control
display on the xture.
You can set the same starting address for all xtures or a group of xtures, or set different addresses for
each individual xture. Setting all xtures to the same DMX address will cause all xtures to react in the
same way, in other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the xtures simultaneously.
If you set each xture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number
you have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each xture. That means changing the settings
of one channel will only affect the selected xture.
In the case of the Frost fx bar w, when in 8 channel mode you should set the starting DMX address of
the rst unit to 1, the second unit to 9 (8 + 1), the third unit to 17 (9 + 8), and so on.
The xture includes an easy to navigate system menu control panel display where all necessary settings and
adjustments are made. During normal operation, pressing the ESC button once will return the current menu to
the last menu. In the main menu, you can navigate through the different functions and access the sub-menus
with the UP and DOWN buttons. When you reach a eld that requires adjusting, press the ENTER button to
access that eld and use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the eld. Pressing the ENTER button once more
will conrm your setting. You may exit the main menu at any time without making any adjustments by pressing
For Primary/Secondary operation, link DMX cables between xtures, and ensure that the primary xture
is set to either Auto or Sound, and all secondary xtures are set to dmx001.

CLEANING
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and external optical lenses must be carried
out periodically to optimize light output.
1. Use a damp microber cloth to wipe down the outside casing, and to clean the external optics. We
recommend that you clean the external optics every 20 days.
2. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit back in.
3. Opening the unit will void warranty.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the xture operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue,
dust, dew).
